The Motor Vehicle Insurance and Repair Industry (MVIRI) Code of Conduct Committee (CAC) has made significant progress in response to the independent review conducted by Dr Michael Schaper says VACC.
The CAC has finalised a brief for a rewrite of the Code, in addition to formally seeking legal advice regarding governance options to external parties who will report back to the committee in early 2024.
“Dr Schaper’s review called for improvements to the Code which would see it simplified, while remaining legally rigorous. To this end, the CAC has sought input from external advisors.” MVIRI CAC Chair, Stephen Jenkins said.
“The review also called for the appointment of an independent chair and deputy chair, as well as clarifying the committee’s governance and voting.
“It is prudent the committee is informed with sound legal advice to ensure reform of the Code achieves the best possible outcomes for all industry participants.”
In response Dr Schaper’s recommendation and industry feedback to update the Code website, the committee is currently working on improvements to the user experience.
Since the report was formally received in May 2023, the CAC has met several times to progress the 15 recommendations provided by Dr Schaper.
